Question #78059 on slrn in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slrn/+question/78059

ShadowTek gave more information on the question:
Whoops, I accidentally hit enter, and there doesn't seem to be an edit
feature.

Anyway, this caused some unnecessary confusion until I noticed that the
command line was clearly stating:

 Reading startup file /etc/news/slrn.rc.

So, I used to "-i" switch to use the file that was actually in $HOME,
and now the result is:

 Reading startup file /etc/news/slrn.rc. 
 Reading startup file slrn.rc.

So why is it trying to read from /etc/news/ if $HOME is supposed to be
the default?

And why is it now trying to read from 2 files instead of the one that I
specified?

Anyway, I'm not having any problems right now, as the desired config
file is being read, but I just wanted to point out this confusing little
bit in case something can be done to avoid future confusion for others.
